We are doubling our memory from 1gig to 2 gigs and I also want to move the swap file to the d: drive as it is a 10k drive. ok, what is the minimum size of the swap file on c: that I should leave for a system dump in case it has to? I'm thinking c:2 - 50 d: 2000 - 2050 ? does this sound right??
Thanks

Once your OS is stable and the installation is complete, you will need free space on your C drive equal to your RAM plus a few megabytes (say 2.1gig) to be able to write a full dump file. Any swap file size that leaves that much free space would work and I would tend towards something somewhat larger on the C drive, assuming that your system partition is 4gig and your NT installation is something around 1gig or less.

Technet article # Q197379 has a pretty good summary and explanation of how to configure your pagefiles. I am assuming since you will have 2GB Memory that you also have alot of harddisk space. If you don't have alot of drive space on C: you can decrease the size of the pagefile. If the system does a dump you won't get the full dump file.
I would use 2GB+12MB pagefile on C: and 2GB+ pagefile on your least used harddrive. Windows 2000 uses algorithms to see which pagefile is most efficient and would use the one on your other harddrive.
Good luck.
